4 out of 5 stars Request for pictures from other reviewers.   November 1, 2008

All reviewers - could you please post some pictures of your saw and the mobile base? Would help a lot to see how it all fits in.


1 out of 5 stars Disappointed   October 21, 2008
Fredrick Berchiolli
Unit flexes at the point where extension joins the main base. This leads to an unstable and potentially dangerous operation of saw and router. I noticed that Delta produces this unit in China (no intentions to bash China) and it is likely that inferior (soft) steel was used, or at minimum a gauge of steel that is inappropriately thin for this application. I don't trust this base and am now looking at a replacement (HTC/made in the US?)

Excellent product for those who don't want to build their own. Well made. Works as it should. Easy to level. Some complaints about welds breaking, or hard to manuever is petty. It has a two year warranty. Don't you know a welder? Fix it, spray it black again, and get on with it. If you were to buy the materials and make this yourself it would cost a lot more. Consider your time, and skills. I was a machinist for 25 years and I felt it was a great deal for the money. Especially with the free shipping. Now Delta please send my referral fees to the same address you shipped my mobile base to. Really- I like it, and you will to.

I have an older Delta / Rockwell Unisaw and it weighs too much to try to move without some kind of wheels. The product was long overdue to buy. The mobile base was simple and quick to put together.

If you too have an older unisaw, I want to point out a few problems I ran into, just in case you have the same issues. On the lower base of the saw, there is an opening for a dust port. When you install the saw onto the mobile base, this port is no longer available to use. The back of the base covers up about half the opening. I had to make a cover and seal it up. Then I had to cut a new hole higher on the saw and create a additional opening for the 4" dust hose.

The 2nd problem was the middle push down for raising the wheel. The angle in which the handle was welded was high and hit the oak shelf I had on the bottom of my saw. So again, I had to make a modification. I had to take the shelf off and cut it, so there was room for the handle to come up and totally lower the wheel. It was just another little annoyance for a simple mobile base.

I have moved the saw around the shop using the new base and it is pretty easy to use.

This is one of those accessories that I waited too long to purchase. Great product to help make another tool mobile in my shop.

This base fits my Unisaw with a 52" Unifence just right. I am using the steel base that came with the saw. The saw base fits right into the mobile base frame. The frame is low to the ground, so you need a relatively smooth surface. I had considered the heavy duty Grizzly base, but for about the same cost I decided on the Delta base because of the nice design, and the fact it was built for the Delta saw. You need to think about the manual lever lift with the lower shelf. My base came with two lever options for the center wheel lift.
